Some videos to inspire flute players!
The flute is the most expressive and agile of orchestral instruments, with a beautiful tone and a wide and varied repertoire which spans from baroque and classical to contemporary music .
Flute lessons generally consist of:
- learning correct, healthy and relaxed embouchure (lip position), breathing and body posture
- studies to improve aspects of playing such as tone, dexterity, expression (for example Moyse, Koehler, Andersen)
- Baroque, Classic, Romantic and Modern repertoire (for example Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Briccialdi, Debussy, Hindermith)
- other repertoire, such as experimental music (for example Berio)
- understanding of musical terms and theory and listening exercises necessary for a good performance of the repertoire
- if you want to do exams, preparation for the Associated Board exams (grades 1-8 and diploma)
